Email Address Collector is a powerful software tool that can be used in order to extract email addresses and messages from your client and from documents from your PC.

The installation process does not offer to add new products that are not required for the program to properly work, and it is over in a jiffy. The interface you are met with presents a modern design. However, this proves to be a bit convoluted, which might make navigating a bit confusing for novice users.

It consists of a ribbon menu, several buttons and several panels to display e-mail address and contacts sources, search session settings and extraction results.

This software utility can extract information from Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird and Windows Address Book, as well as from documents from the hard drive, in formats such as DOC, XLS, PPT, TXT, HTML, PDF and EML.

Aside from that, it is possible to add all kinds of filters, so as to refine your extractions. To be more precise, you can apply domain or wild card restrictions, and you can also define suspicious e-mails, so as to exclude them. For example, you can mark as untrusted data, addresses that include more than 3 digits, or particular words.

You can view an extraction summary, use a search function which enables you to look in aliases and addresses, and add results to selection.

To finalize, Email Address Collector is an efficient piece of software for people interested in collecting information from their e-mail client, Windows Address Book and hard drive. It encompasses some comprehensive Help contents and well-organized tutorials, it has a good response time and it does not burden the system’s performance.
